The Young Ones

Two days ago we noticed a baby squirrel at the veranda. It was eating the bird seeds on the lawn. Tindra the cat was very interested, but didn't have the energy to try and catch the young squirrel. Yesterday there was four baby squirrels here. All eating bird seeds. For hours as it seemed. Enter Matilda the cat, Tindras sister. So now there are only three baby squirrels left.

The three survivors lived to see another day. I told Matilda's owner what had happened, and she was a bit upset, but then again cats are cats. I took a few more photos and might upload a few to flickr in a day or two.
